Arthritis
Repeatedly performing hand and thumb motions such as grasping, pinching, squeezing, or wringing may lead to the inflammation of tenosynovitis. This inflammation can lead to swelling, which hampers the smooth gliding action of the tendons within the tunnel. Arthritic diseases that affect the whole body, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can also cause tenosynovitis in the thumb. In other cases, scar tissue from an injury can make it difficult for the tendons to slide easily through the tunnel.

Cryotherapy
The Kinesio Taping® Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first technique gives the practitioner the opportunity to actually give support while maintaining full range of motion. This enables the individual to participate in their normal physical activity with functional assistance. The second technique, which is most commonly used in the acute stage of rehabilitation, helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps provide facilitation of lymph flow for an entire 24 hour period. Correctional techniques include mechanical, lymphatic, ligament/tendon, fascia, space and functional. Kinesio Tex® Tape can be used in conjunction with other therapies, including cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and electrical stimulation.
Medical Weight Loss
Your Chiropractic doctor may recommend some simple ways to help you combat thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). For example, decrease the tension of the shoulder strap of your seat belt. Take rest periods to avoid fatigue. Overweight patients should seek help with weight loss, and women with especially large breasts may benefit from using a strapless long-line bra. Avoid heavy lifting, pulling, or pushing. Rapid breathing and stress can worsen symptoms. Avoid looking up, bending the neck back, or holding your arms up for long periods of time. And don't carry a purse or bag on the affected shoulder.
Pediatric Care
We are proud to have on our team Dr. Heidi Henrickson who has a Diplomate degree in Chiropractic Pediatrics from the Academy Council of Chiropractic Family Practice. She has extensive training and years of experience working with women, infants and children. She is also certified to perform the Webster Technique, an analysis and adjustment used during the chiropractic care of women during their pregnancy. This chiropractic technique helps to correct sacral misalignment, balance pelvic muscles and ligaments which in turn removes torsion to the woman's uterus, its resulting constraint to the baby, and allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.
Primary Care
Chiropractic medicine is becoming an integrated part of mainstream healthcare. There are approximately 190 million visits to chiropractic physicians each year¹. Orthopedists, neurologists and primary care physicians are becoming increasingly aware of the many benefits of chiropractic care for their patients. One recent survey of family physicians found that two thirds of medical physicians felt "moderately" or "very" informed about chiropractic medicine. Furthermore, 65 % admitted referring patients to chiropractors and 98% of chiropractors made routine referrals to medical physicians². More and more chiropractors are joining the staffs at area hospitals. They are communicating with medical doctors via patient reports and phone calls, incorporating outcome assessment and designing treatment plans with a clear beginning, middle and end. The chiropractic Center at Winchester Hospital is one of many hospitals now leading this front. >> more

Pregnancy

Internal Medicine

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common problem affecting the hand and wrist. Symptoms begin when the median nerve gets squeezed inside the carpal tunnel of the wrist, a medical condition known as nerve entrapment. Any condition that decreases the size of the carpal tunnel or enlarges the tissues inside the tunnel can produce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Hypothyroidism
Other conditions in the body can produce symptoms of CTS. Pregnancy can cause fluid to be retained, leading to extra pressure in the carpal tunnel. Diabetics may report symptoms of CTS, which may be from a problem in the nerve (called a neuropathy ) or from actual pressure on the median nerve. People with low thyroid function (called hypothyroidism ) are more prone to problems of CTS.
Thyroid

Ultrasound
Pain, inflammation, and spasm are reduced in the office and home care advice is given. Chiropractic treatment usually involves multiple visits to move you from pain relief to stage 2. Physiotherapeutic modalities are often used in the stage (electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound and ice.)
MRI
The MRI scan is used frequently to look at the tendons and ligaments of the shoulder. The MRI scan is a special test that uses magnetic waves to take slices of the shoulder in several directions. Unlike X-rays, the soft tissue structures can be seen on the MRI scan.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
A CT scan may also be ordered. The CT scan ( computed axial tomography ) is a detailed X-ray that lets doctors see "slices" of bone tissue. The image can show if bone spurs are sticking into the spinal column and taking up space around the spinal cord.
Iontophoresis
Ice and electrical stimulation are used to ease pain and improve healing of the tendon. Deep muscle work is sometimes performed to help breakdown scar tissue and adhesions which form in the muscles and tendons. Treatment sessions may also include iontophoresis, which uses a mild electrical current to "push" anti-inflammatory medicine to the sore area. Exercises are used to gradually stretch and strengthen the forearm muscles. Because tendonosis is often linked to overuse, your chiropractor will work with you to reduce repeated strains on your elbow. When symptoms come from a particular sport or work activity, we will observe your style and motion with the activity. You may be given tips about how to perform the movement so the elbow is protected. We can check your sports equipment and work tools and suggest how to alter them to keep your elbow safe.

Orthopedics
I am a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minnesota where I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic. I also completed a three-year post-doctoral program in the specialty of Chiropractic Orthopedics.
Sciatica
The number one reason a woman seeks out chiropractic care during her pregnancy is for relief of sciatic pain. Inflammation anywhere along the pathway of the sciatic nerve is called Sciatica. Another popular reason for chiropractic care during pregnancy is to correct spinal or pelvic misalignments that may be contributing to a breech baby. If the reason the fetus is in a breech type position is due to the bony structure or alignment of the mother's pelvis, chiropractic care can be very successful is allowing the baby to get itself into the optimal position for delivery. Dr. Heidi Henrickson has been performing this technique for years with great success. Please feel free to contact her to discuss your specific situation. All of our doctors have worked with women throughout their pregnancy including special circumstances like multiples, breech positions and placenta previa.
Whiplash
Under normal circumstances, chiropractic adjustments/manipulations are painless. In cases of recent trauma, such as whiplash, mild discomfort may be experienced due to inflammation. It is also common to feel a brief sensation in the extremities immediately following an adjustment due to the sudden decompression of the affected nerve root. Most people feel an immediate relief and increased mobility following a treatment.
Arthroscopy
An arthroscope is a special type instrument designed to look into a joint, or other space, inside the body. The arthroscope itself is a slender metal tube smaller than a pencil. Inside the metal tube are special strands of glass called fiberoptics. These small strands of glass form a lens that allows one to look into the tube on one end and see what is on the other side - inside the space. This is similar to a microscope or telescope. In the early days of arthroscopy, the surgeon actually looked into one end of the tube. Today, the arthroscope is attached to a small TV camera. The surgeon can watch the TV screen while the arthroscope is moved around in the joint. Using the ability to see inside the joint, the surgeon can then place other instruments into the joint and perform surgery while watching what is happening on the TV screen.
Pinched Nerve
Neck pain has many causes. Mechanical neck pain comes from injury or inflammation in the soft tissues of the neck. This is much different and less concerning than symptoms that come from pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column. People sometimes refer to this problem as a "pinched nerve." Health providers call it cervical radiculopathy.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
The Kinesio Taping® Method has taken the Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine world by storm. This amazing taping method was developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase over 25 years ago in Japan. Kinesio Taping® has quickly become the gold, or should we say "platinum" standard, for therapeutic rehabilitative taping. The proprietary method of taping uses a uniquely designed and patented tape for treatment of muscular disorders and lymphedema reduction.
Physical Therapy
The British Medical Journal stated that spinal manipulation provider greater improvement of symptoms in those suffering from persistent neck and back complaints compared with physical therapy. The patients receiving spinal manipulation also had greater improvements of physical functioning in fewer visits.6
Frozen Shoulder
I am a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and a Diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management (DAAPM). I am an active member of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and the ACA's Council on Physiological Therapeutics and Rehabilitation. I am certified in the Niel Asher Technique for conservative management of complex shoulder disorders such as frozen shoulder. I have also gained certification in fascial movement taping through Rock Tape and am Graston Technique certified. I lecture on various topics including repetitive use injuries, work place injuries, acute care, whiplash related disorders and Class IV laser therapy.
Tennis Elbow
I am a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minnesota where I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic and a second bachelor's degree in Human Biology. Our practice is geared toward conservative management of musculoskeletal injuries. Common conditions seen at our practice include disc problems, neck and low back pain, headaches, pregnancy related back pain and complaints of the upper and lower extremities such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff injuries. There is an emphasis on integrative care, bringing in all disciplines for the benefit of the patient.
Slipped Disc
The disc is a soft pulpy "shock absorber." It has a fibrous outer ring which holds in a jelly-like material. A "slipped disc" is a common way to refer to a wide variety of disc problems. However, a disc can't slip because of the way it attaches to the spinal bones above and below it. A disc can bulge. It can tear. It can herniate. It can thin. It can dry out. And it can collapse. But it can't slip.
